Why was he recommended Polprazole for gallbladder removal?
Good morning, I am a week after surgery to remove the gallbladder. Before the procedure, I took supplements such as: regalen, hepa complex, digestive enzymes (Aliness), black cumin seed oil. The question is, can I still supplement them? Question: another doctor at discharge prescribed polprazole, I do not know for what purpose? Do I necessarily have to take it? Thank you in advance for your reply.

If the use of the above-mentioned dietary supplements has not been recommended by a doctor, the safety and legitimacy of supplementation should be consulted with the doctor under whose care you were in the hospital. Polprazole is a drug belonging to the group of proton pump inhibitors, inhibiting the secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. It is mainly used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease and stomach and duodenal ulcers. Prescribing drugs of this group in patients after cholecystectomy is not a routine procedure. Perhaps its use is aimed at preventing the so-called post-cholecystectomy syndrome. However, this issue should be discussed with the doctor who recommended its use.

After cholecystectomy (removal of the gallbladder), proper diet and prevention are the most important, especially in the first 6 weeks after surgery. During this time, you should strictly follow your doctor's instructions, especially regarding the medicines and supplements used. It is also recommended to avoid physical exertion, especially carrying heavy objects. Polprazole, which you are asking about, is a drug that reduces the secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. It is used m.in treat reflux, stomach or duodenal ulcers, inflammation, as well as to prevent the occurrence of these diseases. Due to the fact that the bile ducts flow into the duodenum, this drug has probably been prescribed as a prophylaxis of inflammation that can occur before the body adapts to changes after removal of the sac, as well as as a result of surgery. Before a proper diet is understood easily digestible meals, with a low fat content and without the addition of hot spices. The so-called liver diet is recommended for daily use in patients after pouch excision. If, on the other hand, there are complaints from the p / digestive side, then appropriate supplementation can be included.
